Renta and I have posted this on JP side as well and people like it there also; they have to consider something like this in the game... would give lots of people reason to play this game and come back (if they like this kind of system that is)

Even if they already posted in this thread, REMIND THE DEV TEAM AGAIN REPS!
Well, i plan on keeping this thread alive for as long as it takes, ^^
Thing is, I would LOVE to see it in-game, but it needs to become a full-screen interactive experience as well as letting you keep your chat-box available to see. I watched some videos of Parley and it's a pathetic excuse for an interactive game. I've never played it but nothing about it made me go ":o oooooo", especially since it took up barely any space on your screen.
Replace parley with triple triad.
A card game similar to tetramaster and triple triad would be a wonderful minigame addition to FFXIV. BUT IT NEEDS TO BE IN GAME. I can't stress that enough.
I really think though, when SE has the time they could develop an awesome system. Like say if its tetra or triple, we get a new armor slot called deck. Thats where you equip the cards you want active for playing the game with npcs and players. The cards in the deck can effect your stats for normal gameplay and you could pick a card to give you some sort of special buff every so often or an ability.
They could really make a fun minigame that has use too!
I wonder if town-specific mini games like they had in Kingdom Hearts II would work.

I dunno what kind of games would be suitable for an MMO, but it may give players an incentive to check out the other towns. In the end it's probably too impractical.
If they're gonna take anything from Kingodm Hearts, though, I'd prefer it be the Coliseum, by far.

You know I honestly thought it may have been a server issue at first, but now I think it was implementation at that time. But as far as they've come in development of many things (pankration even though it died, parley, chocobo racing) this shows me that they're definitely able on the implementation side now.
Lore/accessibility/programming/UI. I think they've learned a lot to use prior knowledge to make something like this good :)
another yes for triple triad here. being able to see chat log and other basic UI while playing would be nice, but other wise make it full screen and as involving as VIII's was to play. Though obviously updated for XIV.
keepin' this topic alive. I hope they notice.
